Yeah, what's really shady is how he announces the warranty and then the next week, dips out to head up EA Sports and gets a 1.5 mil signing bonus, as well as stock options and payment that equals roughly 750-900,000 dollars A YEAR.  That man is a dirty, dirty industry whore.  :D

Holy shit lol. All I knew was why he left, but not like THAT. Major Nelson actually got to talk to him and put up a podcast about it, it was a really short conversation really. He'll be missed. But that's ok.

On with more important things, like ... Halo 3! :D

And look what happened to Sega.  Although Microsoft isn't nearly in as bad a shape.  Have to say that Sony shows it's colors once again with Jack's response.  What an ass.

What is it with Jack T. names in this industry?  Is every Jack T. an incorrigible asshole?
